Firing Line Television Broadcast - 1966 (used without permission)
It was not the sexual revolution of the 60s that riled him up but Playboy that made devout Catholic and Conservative William F. Buckley Jr. invite the 'emancipated' Hugh Hefner on Firing Line. Buckley, who passed away in 2008, founded the television program and National Review magazine while Hefner headed and still heads the Playboy empire.
Hefner is no match for the acerbic and dry Buckley who had the era of Judeo-Christian conservatism behind him. Buckley posits a question on nudity and evolves the topic. The Playboy magnate is drawn into the gamut only for the Catholic to measure him up and snipe him with the ‘morality’ bullets of the era. In the 21st century, Buckley would have a harder time defending morality with Hefner, now known for his taste in surgically-enhanced blondes.
